This is an example of a gendered of a product. The color blue is associated with boys and pink with girls; therefore there are the blue snuggies for boys and pink snuggies. On the pack of the snuggie, the boy is playing a video game and the girl is talking on the phone. We all know boys are associated with video games and girls with gossiping. By looking at the product we can assume that the blue snuggie is designed for boys and the pink one for girls. The same applies to Gendered places because they are places designed for men or women.
